Oh man, your link led me to shackle[1] to make transient buffers behave and I have wanted that for... well for as long as I've been using Emacs really, and that's quite a long time now. I don't get how anybody is fine with Emacs' default "let's pop this buffer anywhere, possibly hiding a useful window".

- pulisse 8y agoThat looks awesome. Emacs's default behavior in this respect is theoretically customizable, but the mechanism for doing so (display-buffer-alist) is (to me) incomprehensible. It seems like what Shackle does is provide a clean interface for specifying rules that get translated into display-buffer-alist rules.
- simias 8y agoYeah I've tried a few time to customize this behavior over the years and while I did manage to improve it somewhat it's still far from how I'd like it to be.
